Rosehill Race 7: Schweppes BM75 1400m

28/08/2015: Artistry gets top billing here after my initial fancy Pressing has been scratched, but I must admit with some trepidation. If the predicted heavy rating remains form students will note that Artistry's only run on heavy ground to date resulted in a 54 length defeat!!! we assume that surely there must have been other issues as well. Apart from that abysmal effort Artistry has won 2 placed 2 in her other 5 runs. A last start 1st up winner from an astute stable rates as well as anything in this evenly graded affair. Berrimilla is a dual acceptor and if runs in this race is always a chance particularly on affected ground. Drops in grade and won this track 2 runs back. His Majesty goes well this distance and has been good in both runs back from spell. Well drawn and looks ready to break through this grade. Holy Delusions has been a bit of a wallet burner but on best form rates in a race like this, has landed the runner's up cheque at last 2 runs and no surprise to see her go one better this time.

No regular front runner engaged in this lot, so I guess it's take your pick of which one of the four listed on pace runners assumes that role. Of those runners only Fuerza and Passionflower have actually led in races in their last 10 runs, but both have to contend with wide draws. Artistry will be looking to drop in behind that pair assuming they both press forward from the wide gates and if so should get into a good trailing position. His Majesty has drawn the inside and shouldn't be too far off them saving ground on the fence. Pace assessment here is rated only moderate.
